The Ashgate Research Companion to Anthropology
This companion provides an indispensable overview of contemporary and classical issues in social and cultural anthropology. Although anthropology has expanded greatly over time in terms of the diversity of topics in which its practitioners engage, many of the broad themes and topics at the heart of anthropological thought remain perennially vital, such as understanding order and change, diversity and continuity, and conflict and co-operation in the reproduction of social life. Bringing together leading scholars in the field, the contributors to this volume provide us with thoughtful and fruitful ways of thinking about a number of contemporary and long-standing arenas of work where both established and more recent researchers are engaged. The companion begins by exploring classic topics such as Religion; Rituals; Language and Culture; Violence; and Gender. This is followed by a focus on current developments within the discipline including Human Rights; Globalization; and Diasporas and Cosmopolitanism. It provides an interesting and challenging look at the state of current thinking in anthropology, serving as a rich resource for scholars and students alike.
What the Frack? Everything you need to know about coal seam gas
Australia has a new $50 billion industry. It carries unprecedented environmental risks but could be the path to energy salvation: cleaner than coal, safer than nuclear, a complement to renewables. Suddenly it seems, coal seam gas is being found everywhere: under homes, under farms, under forests. Communities across the country are up in arms and governments are scrambling to satisfy competing demands for affordable energy with protection of our land and water. Big oil and gas companies hope Australia will soon be the biggest liquid natural gas exporter in the world, but Greenies and farmers are united in their opposition to coal seam gas extraction, especially on our most fertile agricultural land. In this brilliant account, journalist and energy expert Paddy Manning unpicks the coal seam gas extraction story, visiting drill sites, boardrooms, pipelines, parliamentary offices and angry farm-gate protests. It seems that coal seam gas extraction may be one boom that’s happening too fast.
Available to Be Poisoned
In Available to Be Poisoned: Toxicity as a Form of Life, Dipali Mathur contends that the saturation of the planet with toxic chemicals marks a deliberate and violent relationship with the Earth and its "others," born of colonialism and capitalism’s entwined histories. Mathur offers the concept of "toxicity as a form of life" to signpost the normalization of toxic exposure and analyzes how states use toxicity to control populations on the fringes of our global political economy by making them available to be poisoned.

Fish Vetting Essentials
Information on fish health, disease and medicine is difficult to come by and is at best, fragmented. This book has been in preparation since 2001, and it is a compilation of essential information for veterinarians to successfully and confidently attend to fish patients - in particular, how to diagnose common fish diseases, how to medicate and treat fish diseases using drugs available in their surgery. It is also of value to professional aquarists and those who love their pets dearly at times when a fish veterinarian may not be available locally.
Fish Diseases and Disorders

The new and more eloquent research and current techniques have extended our knowledge and understanding of these infectious organisms. Researchers from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia have been involved in updating this book. With the addition of new information, some of the older texts in the original chapters have been condensed; ...
